- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)

- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

          Baku says no need for total mobilization

          June 8, 2012 - 22:07 AMT
          PanARMENIAN.Net - There is no need for total mobilization in Azerbaijan, Azeri Presidential Administration Political Analysis and Information Department head said.
          “Azerbaijani army is strong and there is no need for mobilization,” Trend quoted Elnur Aslanov as saying.
          Meanwhile, international experts deem Armenian armed forces the most combat-ready in the region.
          Azerbaijan, probably, possesses large number of kamikazes, with Azeri commanders continuing to orchestrate subversive acts against Armenia and Artsakh, and later trying to justify their soldiers’ deaths citing various absurd reasons.
          Increased instances of Azeri ceasefire violation have been reported recently, with Azerbaijani side shelling border villages and conducting acts of sabotage on border with Armenia and Artsakh.
          Sources say that 21-25 Azerbaijani soldiers were killed in Azeri subversive actions in recent days in Tavush- Ghazakh zone of Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
          On June 5 night, attempt was made by Azerbaijani soldiers to infiltrate one of the positions of Artsakh defense army. Armenian side, however, managed to hinder Azeri attack, with NKR army units pushing Azeri forces back to the original positions.
          Azerbaijani authorities try hard to concoct reasons behind the deaths and injuries on its side. In fact, these are saboteurs, killed or wounded by Armenian armed forces who were trying to hinder Azeri subversive acts. Thus, according to Azerbaijani authorities, Azeri soldiers commit mass suicide, get blown up by mine, and die in an accident.
          For instance, today, June 6, Azerbaijani media reported that a soldier, 19, was “blown up by mine.” He was hospitalized, with doctors assessing his state as moderate.
          Sometimes, even a concrete slab kills an Azerbaijani soldier. For instance, it was reported that two Azeri servicemen were killed in Agstafa region, with another having been “injured during collapse of concrete slab.”
          Emin Guliyev and Orkhan Huseynov died, while Elnur Kechalov is still at hospital. Meanwhile, according to Miacum.am website, 21 Azerbaijani soldiers were killed in Azeri subversive acts in recent days in Tavush- Kazakh zone of Armenian-Azerbaijani border. Today, June 7, Azerbaijani media reported that another Azeri soldier Cabrayilov Ramil Dilavar drowned in Kur River.
          General Antranik (1865-1927): “I am not a nationalist. I recognize only one nation, the nation of the oppressed.”

            The following is an interesting perspective on the recent armed clashes between Azerbaijan and Armenia. The article in question is by Russia's state-sponsored Regnum. It is in the Russian language but Google translate does a decent job of translating it -

              Thank you Armanen. Here is the English translation:

              The new reality around Karabakh: who is the friend of Russia - Armenia and Azerbaijan?

              Against the backdrop of recent violent events on the border of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh, the eve of the arrival of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after her departure, Azerbaijani experts and officials are trying to present it in such a way that Russia organized massacre, in order to show the Americans - "Russia without you not here decide. " In short, they do not exclude the "hand of Moscow" in these events. Such inferences are beaten by Russia's image and casts a shadow on the Armenian-Russian and Russian-Azerbaijani relations. Moreover, Azerbaijani officials are trying to convince the world that Russia is the destructive position in the Karabakh issue.However, as is known from private sources, the progress of sabotage attacks Azeri June 4 followed by Turkish and Israeli experts. With the Turkish experts involvement, it is expected all clear, but Israel's position is puzzling. Today, the territory of Azerbaijan is a large number of specialists in this country in different directions and regions. Experts defense, special training for combat operations in the mountainous and wooded terrain and street fighting, the instructor through the air (pilots), the military medical service, commando training, data management and analysis of aerial and space reconnaissance. Moreover, in Nakhichevan are more than 100 people from the Israeli special forces, not counting the Israeli intelligence officers in Baku, near the Iranian border. Azerbaijan is conducting the recruitment of ethnic Azerbaijanis living in the Iran in favor of the Israeli secret service.

              Under the noses of Russian and Armenian intelligence community created with the participation of Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey and Israel to the United States supervision the states of Georgia, Azerbaijan and Turkey will actively interact. Georgia, in turn, recruits citizens of Armenia and ethnic Armenians in Azerbaijan's favor. In Turkey, Azerbaijan to explore all the conditions for working against Armenia and Armenians coming to Turkey, and their nationality is not important. Israel has reacted separately with Azerbaijan and Georgia through the intelligence and counterintelligence. It is clear that Israel is preparing for a possible war against Iran, but at the same time Azerbaijan is preparing for war against Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh. UN Security Council it's time to stop Israel and urge him not to escalate the situation in the Caucasus.Strange and silence on the Armenian diplomacy is the conduct of Israel. Azerbaijan, of course, in matters of diplomacy replays the Armenian Foreign Ministry, although the Armenians more opportunities. But it is also the question of qualification. Most likely, Armenia, there is simply no complete picture of what is happening, or is poorly informed. Nevertheless, the Armenian side does not even try to respond openly hostile Israeli actions, including no response to the information on the contract for the supply of Israeli weapons to Azerbaijan in the amount of $ 1.6 billion.

              There is a lot of questions about the positions of Russia and in Turkey. Why Moscow is closer? Turkey has openly opposed Russian interests. It does not support Moscow's stance on Syria, it sets in its territory elements of U.S. missile defense effort on Russia's interests in oil and gas industry. Russia must understand that Turkey artificially thrown into the arms of Russia, there is a completely different idea and throw this bone is not worth it. Turkey will never be a reliable ally, or at least a neutral country - is a member of NATO, openly showing their increased ambition.It is also unclear, and then - who, after all, is a friend and political and military ally of Russia - Armenia and Azerbaijan? Why does Russia need to supply weapons to Azerbaijan and to educate the citizens of this country's military specialties? It's like feeding the gladiators! Although, of course, such a policy can be called and the preservation of the balance of power. Only he has long been broken! Armenia - the only ally of Russia in the region and member of the Collective Security Treaty Organization. In Yerevan, all these facts are perceived quite painful. If Armenia does not need Russia, Iran is on the line, who will take great pleasure in the Russian sphere of influence. Iran has also not allow the loss of Nagorno-Karabakh by Armenia. In the case of a threat of such a scenario, he leads his troops into the region, because Iran is also a matter of life and death.

              Now only one remains an open question - that will start earlier, use of force against Iran or against Nagorno-Karabakh. So far everything is going to war over Nagorno-Karabakh, and it is possible, it will happen this year, perhaps at the time of elections in the United States. No wonder that U.S. analysts are calling for "forceful arbitration." It seems that the U.S. no longer needs the services of the OSCE and Russia.

              But it is not important, but what is really going on in Karabakh, and Karabakh as a real set. The solution of the Karabakh problem is not in the competence nor the President of Armenia, or the competence of the President of Nagorno Karabakh. This question can not be solved without the consent of the people of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh. Anyone who tries to mediate, to understand - the presidents of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh has no authority to decide the issue. None of them did not dare to sign the document on assignments, even if it is to ask or try to make. Because presidents know that in this case in Armenia will start a civil war. Peacekeeping forces - is also an empty phrase. In the case of the Karabakh people, they will fight.

                Азербайджан вооружается, чтобы освободить Карабах, а Израиль вооружает его ради Ирана: армянский генерал

                Azerbaijan is arming itself to liberate Karabakh, and Israel to arm them for the sake of Iran: Armenian General

                "Recent diversionary activities are part of Azerbaijan Baku strategy of planting fear in the Armenian society about its power and the possible resumption of hostilities in the conflict zone." On this, as the correspondent of IA REGNUM, at a press conference June 8, said the Armenian military leader, Major-General Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan (Known as "Commandos").

                Despite numerous threats from the Azeri side about the possibility of outbreak of hostilities, according to Ter-Tadevosyan, Azerbaijan is not ready for it. In this context, he highlighted three main indicators of readiness by the beginning of the war - the willingness of society, the Armed Forces and the government of the country: "These three elements allow any country to conduct military operations." In this context, Major-General noted the presence of multi-ethnic population in the conflict between Azerbaijan and representatives of various national minorities, in particular, linguistic, religious or otherwise. "That representatives of national minorities and the Azeris send to the most difficult parts of the war," - he stated. "If Azerbaijan was ready for war, he would have started the war years ago. Why do not they start a war? They are not ready for war. And this estimate is not just from us. Yes, their army is heavily armed, but there is no such army, which would like to fight, "- said the commandos.

                Speaking of the last major acquisition of arms by Azerbaijan, Levon Ter-Tadevosyan said: "Each of your goals. Azerbaijan armed with one purpose - to" liberate Karabakh. "And who is her armorer? - Israel, which has a different purpose - Iran." Another purpose of such transactions, according to the military, is to intimidate Armenia. "They are preparing for a future war, but when will this war start - it is not clear. Ever shoot guns" - he said, adding that "the army is ready to resist the aggression of Armenia enemy, but the conflict should be resolved peacefully.""Military experts say that the Armenian army in the region all the more effective exercise its functionality. We have all to face," - said Ter-Tadevosyan, while stating that "now has a different vision of the war and the first goal will be to destroy vital facilities country - oil and gas pipelines, and oil does not belong to Azerbaijan and the UK. " He noted that the outbreak of hostilities in Karabakh depends not only on Baku.

                Major-General also recalled the recent statement of the CSTO Secretary General Nikolai Bordyuzha that in the event of military aggression by Azerbaijan, the organization will provide assistance to Armenia, "Maybe as a soldier, I believe it, but as someone with a lot of life experience, except for Russia, I do not believe that Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan will fight against the Azerbaijanis. as for aid, in 1994, the CIS countries came to the aid to Azerbaijan and our first President was persuaded to sign a truce. It was absurd, as the defeated party was able to document that we have to free territory. "

                      Posting this just to highlight that suicide is a major problem in not only the Armenian army but even the US army.
                      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                      More U.S. soldiers commit suicide than die in action - Pentagon

                      June 8, 2012 - 17:59 AMT
                      PanARMENIAN.Net - Suicide is on the rise in the U.S. military, averaging almost one every day, according to statistics, AP said.
                      In the first 155 days of 2012 there was 154 suicides among active troops, around 50% more than the number killed in action in Afghanistan, according to Pentagon statistics obtained by Associated Press. This is the highest number in 10 years.
                      The numbers reflect the burden of conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to experts. The military is also struggling with increased sexual assaults, alcohol abuse, domestic violence and other problems.
                      Suicides had levelled off in 2010 and 2011, but this year's surge has caught officials by surprise.
                      Studies have pointed to combat exposure, post-traumatic stress, misuse of prescription drugs and personal financial problems as possible reasons for the increase.
                      Army data suggest soldiers with multiple combat tours are at greater risk of killing themselves, although a substantial proportion of the deaths are among soldiers who have never been deployed.
                      The unpopular war in Afghanistan is winding down with the last combat troops scheduled to leave at the end of 2014. But this year has seen record numbers of soldiers killed, and there also have been several scandals involving military misconduct.
                      The total of 154 suicides so far this year compares to 130 in the same period last year, an 18% increase. This year's January-May total is up 25% from two years ago, and it is 16% greater than in 2009, which ended with the highest yearly total so far.
                      Suicide totals have exceeded U.S. combat deaths in Afghanistan in other years, including 2008 and 2009.
                      The numbers are rising despite years of effort to encourage troops to seek help with mental health problems. Many in the military believe that seeking help is a sign of weakness and a potential threat to promotion.
